To use a PTO unit for that long. You need a tractor you will not need during that time. One that can idle for that long and is in good shape. PTO units do have their place on a farm. But you would be better with a good standby generator. One that you test at least once a month. I have seen to many four/five year old generators. With 3 hours on them. Then the owner complain because they don't work.
The fuel you need depends on your location. How easy is it to get. Diesel,gas or Propane/NG. I would not go with gasoline. The new stuff dosen't seem to store well. Diesel would be my first choice. Then Propne or NG depending on where you live.
The next choice is how much power do you need. You need to add up your total load. Then buy a unit that has a little more than you need. If you need 10KW get a 15KW unit. Always better to have more than you need. Up to a point. Dont buy a 50KW unit when a 15KW will cover you.
But the most inportant thing is to use it. Don't let it sit for years. Then expect it to work.
And my advice. Stay away from Generac. 47 years of knowing why.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
